How to Find 8% of 45

Answer 1

To find 8% of 45, first rewrite 8% as a decimal by moving the decimal point

two places to the left to get .08.

Next, the word "of" means multiply, so we have (.08)(45) which is 3.6.

So 8% of 45 is 3.6.

Answer 2

When you are finding the percent of a number you have to remember that "of" also means multiplication.

So 8 percent of 45 is saying 8 percent times 45.

8 percent is out of 100. So we need to write it as a decimal. 8 percent is equal to 0.08.

Multiply: 0.08 X 45 = 3.6.
